Our clients range from small business, corporations, high net-worth individuals and ordinary people who want to manage and preserve their wealth with careful tax and estate planning. We also advise entities such as hedge funds and joint ventures; individuals and institutions acting as executors, trustees, or other fiduciaries; and private foundations.
